Beware, older languages below! The languages below were invented during Tolkien's earlier period and should be used with caution. Remember to never, ever mix words from different languages!

Gnomish

nog

noun. hill, knob, prominence

A noun in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s glossed “hill, knob, prominence” (GL/61), possibly a derivative of the early root ᴱ√NOHO “extended” (QL/67).

nogrod

place name. Nogrod

Gnomish [LT2I/Nogrod] Group: Eldamo. Published by

nogin

noun. boy, lad, urchin

A noun appearing as G. nogin “boy, lad, urchin” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s (GL/61); its derivation is unclear since no nearby words seem to be related, but it could be a variation on G. naug “a dwarf” (GL/59).

Neo-Sindarin: I think this word may be salvageable as Neo-Sindarin ᴺS. nogen, reinterpretted as a derivative of the root √NUK “stunted”, originally an adjective ✱nukina used to refer to short persons or children in a less-than-flattering way. Given its glosses, I would use this word mainly for a mischievous or irritating male child; for a more ordinary word for “boy”, I’d instead use S. ion(n).

nogra-

verb. to excell, exceed

nogrin

adjective. excellent, conspicuous

nogriol

adjective. excellent, conspicuous

gontha
